"This report examines the economic impact of regulation in the beef and pork sectors in Canada. The author focuses his analysis on the amended Agricultural Stabilization Act (ASA) as being the major regulatory instrument in these sectors. Martin draws the conclusion that the amended ASA does not and will not attain its objectives: the program is annual and, yet, producers may experience a period of low returns within one year but not benefit from stabilization payments; the level of support is not announced in advance and, thus, the producer has little or no idea of what the support level will be, if any, until after the fact; the objectives of stabilizing both food supplies and prices, and encouraging expanded food exports, depend on the program eliciting a supply response"--Summary, p. ix.
